I have always loved the Arthurian legend(传奇), as there is something quite special about King Arthur, and of course Merlin, my favourite character from the stories.
Death of an Empire is the second volume in MK Hume’s“Merlin”series which details Merlin's life from birth. Merlin travels across the Roman Empire in search of his father, a voyage of discovery to understand just who he was. Eventually Merlin gets involved in the fight against the Hun's invasion(入侵) of Europe at the Battle of the Catalaunian Plain.
Serving under the General Flavius Aetius, Merlin builds a reputation by saving the lives of thousands of soldiers. When he finally reaches Rome, he saves many more. But a far deadlier conflict between Emperor Valentinian and Senator Petronius Maximus is around the corner and Merlin must use all his strength to carry out his work.
If I had to choose just one word to describe this novel, there would be no other choice than “immersive(身临其境的)”. There has clearly been a serious amount of research carried out by the bined with the descriptive prose and imagin ative story, the book really does attract you from almost the very start. The story really does feel like you are a part of it as Merlin travels across the Roman Empire.
The author does a great job of mixing the rich history with established Arthurian legend. The battle scene is handled very effectively. The author employs a very effective form to show the main fight and this not only adds a degree of tension and a good level of excitement but almost makes you feel like you are right there hearing about what happened.
Death of an Empire is a very fine novel, a wonderfully rich tale and a rewarding story.
24. Why does Merlin travel across the Roman Empire
A. To visit King Arthur. B. To enjoy a nice view.
C. To get a well-paid job. D. To find out his origin.
25. What can we learn about the novel
A. It is a mixture of history and legend. B. It features difficult language.
C. It speaks highly of an emperor. D. It is a masterpiece of Merlin.
26. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. An effective description. B. A long-running battle.
C. A wonderful feeling. D. A well-known legend.
27. What is the text
A. A news report. B. A history story.
C. A book review. D. A science fiction.
C
As we all know, insects can be remarkably agile(灵活的) in flight. This is really hard to build into flying robots, but MIT Assistant Professor Kevin Yufeng Chen has developed an insect-sized drone(无人机) that approaches insects' agility.
Typically, drones require wide open spaces. “If we look at most drones today, they're usually quite big,” says Chen. “Most of their applications involve flying outdoors. The question is: Can you create an insect-sized drone that can move around in very crowded and complex spaces ”
According to Chen, he overcame many problems when building the drone. The insect-sized drone requires a fundamentally different construction from a larger one. The large drone is usually powered by a motor, but the motor loses efficiency as you shrink it. So, Chen says, “For an insect-sized drone, you need to look for alternatives.” The principal alternative untilnow has been employing a small, rigid actuator(执行器) built from new materials. Chen designed a more agile tiny drone using soft actuators instead of hard ones.
Each actuator can beat nearly 500 times per second and weighs just 0.6 gram, approximately the mass of a large bee. It gives the drone insect-like agility. “You can hit it when it's flying, and it can recover,” says Chen. “It can also turn over in the air.” The drone looks a bit like a tiny cassette tape with wings, though Chen is also working on a new one shaped like a dragonfly.
Chen says his drone can be useful in industry and agriculture. It can perform machinery inspections to ensure safety and function. Its potential applications include completing search-and-rescue missions following a disaster. “All those things can be very difficult for existing large-scale drones,” Chen explains.
28. What can we know about the actuator designed by Chen
A. It weighs about six grams.
B. It drives the insect-sized drone.
C. It loses efficiency too much.
D. It employs conventional materials.
29. Which word can best describe Chen's work
A. Easy. B. Costly. C. Fruitless. D. Challenging.
30. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the new drone
A. Its safety standards. B. Its flying range.
C. Its possible applications. D. Its design principle.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. An Insect-like Small Drone
B. The Future of Insect-sized Drones
C. How Drones Will Change the Agriculture
D. What Challenge Drone Development Faces
D
Humans have a way of understanding others', goals, desires and beliefs, a crucial skill thatallows us to anticipate people's actions. Taking bread out of the toaster You'll need a plate. Sweeping up leaves You'll grab the green trash can. This skill, often referred to as "theory of mind", comes easily to us as humans, but for robots it still has a high mountain to conquer.
In a recent study, computer science researchers made the robot "watch" the human completethe task using a camera placed directly above the assembly (组 装) area, looking down. To detect the parts operated by the human, the system used AprilTags, similar to QR codes, attached to the parts. Then, the system used machine learning to learn a person's preference based on their orders of actions in the task. "Based on how a person performs the small assembly, the robot predicts what that person will do in the larger assembly," said Nemlekar."For example, if the robot sees that a person likes to start the small assembly with the easiest part, it will predict that they will start with the easiest part in the large assembly as well."
In the researchers' user study, their system was able to predict the actions that humans will takewith around 82% accuracy."We hope that our research can make it easier for people to show robots what they prefer, " said Nemlekar. "By helping each person in their preferred way, robots can reduce their work, save time and even build trust with them." This technology could also be useful in industrial settings where workers are tasked with assembling products in large numbers, saving time and reducing the risk of injury or accidents. Additionally, it could help persons with disabilities to more easily assemble products and maintain independence.
"Our goal is not to replace humans on the factory floor. I expect similar findings in otherapplications as well, " said Nikolaidis. "A robot that can quickly learn our preferences can help us prepare a meal, rearrange furniture or do house repairs, having a significant impact on our daily lives."
32. What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 1
A. It's refreshing. B. It's challenging.
C. It's unachievable. D. It's ridiculous.
33. What do researchers want to "teach" robots to do in assembly tasks
A. To predict human preferences.
B. To get the tasks finished easily.
C. To think on their own.
D. To avoid human errors.
34. What can we learn about the robots from the last two paragraphs
A. They can replace humans.
B. They've been widely used.
C. They've improved their accuracy.
D. They can do good to the disabled.
35. Where can the text probably be found
A. In a lab guidebook. B. In a computer textbook.
C. In a science newspaper. D. In an academic paper.

“Super unusual,”said Yvette Cendes, an astronomer at Harvard.“We’ve never reallyseen this before to this degree.”
Researchers made the __58__ (discover) when they used a __59__ (power) radio telescopefacility to check some two dozen black holes where stars had been shredded after __60__ (come) too close to them. Such happenings __61__ (call) tidal disruption(潮汐破坏) events,or TDEs.
What they found was that one of the TDEs was emitting energy at an unusual speed__62__ at a very surprising time: more than two years after the event.
This behavior is different from what has been observed in black holes before, in twoways. First, the timing: it's more common __63__ (see) radio emissions from black holes within the first few months after swallowing a star. And second, the energy emitted in this case doesn't quite fit in __64__ what astronomers have seen before.
In most cases of black holes swallowing stars, perhaps 99%, the outflow is lower inenergy. And in 1% of cases, that outflow, at about half the speed of light, rarely __65__ (occur).
